TomServo: asciilifeform: I like that analogy.
Namworld: I used to have that on autorun on my last computer I think...
asciilifeform: thinking that 'curecoin' will turn into a useful and honest operation is like imagining that a meth lab in rural montana will turn into Alex Shulgin's house of fun.
asciilifeform: as someone who was actually paid to (attempt) protein folding, it is especially funny to me.
mircea_popescu: rare is the case htey start shitty and improve
mircea_popescu: in general these things start out as the best they'll ever be
asciilifeform: it's just another scamcoin bundled with a 'promise' to give the proceeds to somebody appetizing.

asciilifeform: world is still waiting for the first altcoin with a point.
ThickAsThieves: but if we all go for the blonde, none of us will get her

mike_c: no such thing as bad publicity. ask bitbet :)
diametric: at least short term while people think its something special
diametric: I pretty much ignored coinye but now with the threat of a lawsuit I almost feel like its going to gain some value
ThickAsThieves: "Well strap on a bomb vest and call me a terrorist, this place has it all! "
mike_c: yeah, but that one at least had it right that he was going after coinye, not the "makers of bitcoin".
mircea_popescu: mike_c was here earlier too
mike_c: i heard a report that kanye is suing the "makers of bitcoin". i don't know why it still astounds me how stupid journalists are.

the20year: i was just talking about the fact i was assured by many 'security experts' that truecrypt was unbreakable

asciilifeform: i prefer the old style.
asciilifeform: but surely, the bogometer arrow is moving.
